The Borrowed: Aerium's Breeze

(3) Third objective, The hunted Hunters - phase 1.2

Street of South district,
Spawnhall city

After get the works, i go back to the Inn.
It's not about preparation or rest.
It's about Mrs. Rinne experiences.

I need to ask her first about that forest, some details, history, knowledge, needed tools, and anything else. There may be some insigficant information that missed by most of people, but usually that trivial things is the simple key for survive.

If any of my classmates know this, i'm sure they'll say i'm overthinking. But that's only amateur presumption, actually it's the opposite based on experiences of my secret hunt.

*Cling cling*
"Welcome, custom- eh, boy you're back already?"

"Yeah, i want to ask something ma'am."

From afar in the kitchen direction, there's a sound of something messed up.
*Praaang klaang toong klaang baam!!*

Who's there in the kitchen?
Someone amateur?

"Cough cough, Mooom is Brother really come?"

Oh, it's just Manna.
I'll take back what i thought.

"Yeah, He's here right before me.
You better just keep your training or
clean your mess. Yuki already hear your cooking."

"W-whaa! Broother i'm sorry
i can't greet you~ I have work to do."

"It's okay, Manna.
I drop by just for a moment."

Why Mrs. Rinne like so much teasing her?

"So what is it, boy? Hurry, before any customers come in."

Aren't i one of them?
"I took some quests Ma'am. Some in the western district and the rest in the forest of Willow's Creep. Can you tell me any tips that i need?"

"Hmm with your ability, the outer area of forest is fine. Just be careful not stray too deep to the core of forest. Can you show me the quests? I can only give some pointers based on the quest."

"Here they are."
"What the?!!"

"What is it, ma'am?"

"Are you sure not over confident here? Even A-ranker can't keep up with this many quests! Geez..what's Emily doin anyway?"

"Miss Emily let me taking all of them, ma'am."

"Eh?..."
"By the way, Miss Emily said Guild master appoint her as my guide, do you know why ma'am?"

"........i see.."
"Hmm? What is it?"

"It's rare case that Miss Emily appointed as your guide by the Guild master himself, you know, not even S-ranker."

Hmm what's guild master's motive still mystery to me.

"But you can relax, i know him. He's not a cunning man, and i'll assure you that he won't do anything funny to you."

What i know, i can trust Mrs. Rinne for now.
"Thank you, ma'am."

"But, really? You want to clear this many? You NOT plan to finish them today right?!"

"That's the plan actually."
"Sigh.....some of this can't be done in some minutes you know." Mrs. Rinne answers with exhausted expression.

"Even the simple cooperating quest such as cleaning a shop or delivering orders need an hour! We even not take into account the quests that far from the city gate." Explained Mrs. Rinne the reality i will face.

"Hee? Isn't it just some cleaning and delivering? I can make haste for it, ma'am."

"No." This time she answers shortly with serious face.
